Texans select defensive tackle Ross Blacklock with the 40th overall pick
The Houston Texans selected TCU defensive tackle Ross Blacklock with the 40th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, which they acquired in an offseason trade that sent DeAndre Hopkins to the Arizona Cardinals.
What It Means:
An athletic tackle with high potential, Blacklock joins a Texans defense that ranked 22nd in pass rush last season by Pro Football Focus. He recorded 9 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks last season.
Blacklock earned a grade of 81.5 from Pro Football Focus last season, 43rd at his position.
